HX (MAN) Truck LSV
The HX family of trucks manufactured by Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) entered service with the British Army in 2008. Designated as Logistic Support Vehicles (LSVs) the HX family forms the backbone of the British Army’s logistic fleet.

To unload a container, first check for sufficient clearance behind the vehicle, either visually or by using the “ghost” container. Then use either ACE interaction or the vanilla context menu to start the unload process. These options are only available from outside the vehicle and require the vehicle to be stationary. Once the container has successfully unloaded, the vehicle is free to drive away.
To load a container, first position the vehicle such that the empty flatbed is aligned with and close to the container. Then use either ACE interaction or the vanilla context menu to start the load process. Again, these options are only available from outside the vehicle and require the vehicle to be stationary.
Unloaded containers can be slingloaded under a suitable helicopter e.g. Merlin
Warning: standing beneath an unloading container is dangerous

By 3 Commando Brigade DESCRIPTION
With a large number of units and a multitude of pre-built infantry Groups to choose from, it is easy to create whole Company sized formations for your missions. Not only that, every Troop or Platoon will look unique, thanks to an automatic randomisation routine which equips each infantryman in gear suitable to his role from the wide choice of kit available.
This mod now fully utilises our 3CB BAF Equipment and BAF Weapons packs allowing the representation of 6 unique theatres / eraâ€™s:
Arctic: Winter camo and contemporary weapons with LDS sights
Desert: DDPM camo and period weapons with SUSAT sights
MTP: MTP camo and contemporary weapons with LDS sights
Temperate: DPM Temperate camo and period weapons with SUSAT sights

INTRODUCTION
Equipment of the British Royal Marines Commandos and other UK Armed Forces.
By 3 Commando Brigade
DESCRIPTION
The modern Royal Marines Commando or British Army soldier carries a lot of kit in addition to his weapon. This mod aims to recreate some of that equipment.
In current MTP camo, we provide updated combat uniforms, Mk4 vests, â€˜Bergenâ€™ backpacks, Mk7 helmets, berets and tactical glasses. A huge variety of options enables each player to give their character a unique look on the battlefield, whether it be as an Officer, Forward Air Controller, Medic, Sapper, Signaller, Engineer, Point Man, Grenadier, Marksman, Machine Gunner or just plain Rifleman!
Weâ€™ve now expanded the range of combat uniform camouflage patterns to include DPM Woodland, DDPM (desert), DPM Temperate and Arctic. Along with these come accompanying sets of new Mk 2 vests, webbing, Mk 6 helmets and backpacks.
We havenâ€™t forgotten support forces either, with new uniforms, vests and helmets for RAF / RN pilots and tank crews.
